These days I keep hearing a saying: Win.
It can be applied to anyone – Donald TrumpChuck Schumer of AOC – He won and then insisted on asking for more, whether unrealistic.
What comes to mind is an extraordinary paper by Andrew Sullivan in the New York Times.
Gay journalists say LGBTQ movement has shifted from civil rights success to “crazy”
It was Sullivan, a gay, conservative British Catholic who ran the New Republic – who first made a case for homosexual marriage in 1989.
“As gay people openly admit that their love has become more acceptable, more people are committed to one another for life. Their family and friends are committed to one another for life. Law institutionalizing gay marriage will only enhance healthy social trends.”
The cover story is very unpopular and is regarded as an extremist. Despite his optimism, many gays remained closed, including in the media, for fear of an impact.
Before homosexuals in the army Bill Clintonif discharged or military court. Therefore, Sullivan’s dream is seen as a distant fantasy.

“This is the weirdest idea ever. Why do we still want to discuss it?” Christian conservative Gary Bauer said on “Crossfire”
In the spring of 1996, Andrew came to me and asked me to break the story He has AIDSpartly because of his resignation as editor of the New Republic. He said he knew he had the disease for three years but was in good health.
“It’s a terrible burden,” he told me. “It’s hard to fight disease, but when there’s a secret, you can’t help but hide the feeling of shame and inwardness, and it just destroys you.”

Until 2015, after 37 states had taken action (some overturned), the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage a land law. When heterosexual couples realize that their marriage is not affected, it gradually fades into a hot political issue.
Polls now show that one in 10 Americans support gay marriage. Gays are now openly served in cabinets and state houses.
“As the victory of civil rights develops,” Sullivan remains in good health, Written in the times“It’s not more decisive or comprehensive than that.”
The problem is that it has received a lot of media playback because it is the 10th anniversary of the SCOTUS ruling.
But now it’s overdoing.
Rather than announcing victory and closing the shop, the movement leaned in a dangerous new direction.
Sullivan said he always supports the civil rights of trans people. I feel the same way.
But as money is invested, gay rights groups are trying to replace the difference between men and women with “gender identity” – meaning gender-changing surgery on minors. This is a question that about 80% of the country object.
With an obsession with pronouns, the movement also supports getting trans women into the women’s movement, another issue that most people think is unfair and treat it as men.
According to Sullivan, the new mantra: “Transex women are women. Trans men are men.” President Trump has ordered transmilitary members to start from service.

Sullivan, a fan of the president, said some activists opposed everything Trump supports.
“Dissors from gender ideology are usually unfriendly, avoidant and humiliating. Almost all gay, trans and lesbians confide in me (say) they disagree with this…
“Shut the kids out. We are very aware that any excess there can cause the oldest slander against us: we want to embellish and abuse our children.”

This is one person’s opinion; Sullivan allows him to “just another old fart.”
As if to emphasize his point of tolerance, a poster on Reddit called the piece “incoherent Mishmash” and said Sullivan was “accusing Trans and LGBTQ+ activists of conservative attacks on the Trans community.” This comes from “an aging gay man whose brain is soaked in prejudice and fear”.

Many people may disagree with Andrew Sullivan’s analysis. Republican support For same-sex unions, it fell below 50%. But as the first person to join a gay marriage 36 years ago and to openly discuss his battle with HIV, I say he won the right to be heard.
